Chapter 238: Tan Songyun (2/2)
.
”Chen Li, come here,” Tan Songyun said as she pulled her off to the side.
”I was told that you gave a disciple a public invitation today. You should know that you can't be giving out invitations like that, especially not without our permission. What's her name?” Tan Songyun asked.
”His name... is Long Wang.”
”A man?” Tan Songyun frowned.
”Yes. He was one of the 3 outer court disciples to get placed directly into the Phoenix-Class. As of now, he is the first man ever to make it into the Phoenix-Class.”
Tan Songyun was actually impressed by the news, but she still didn't like the idea of having a man in her guild.
”I still refuse. What will the others think if they hear that we let a man join our guild. Quickly, find this Long Wang, and take his White Jade guild nameplate away. I don't want this incident staining our record,” Tan Songyun said before turning to leave.
”There's something else,” Chen Li said calmly.
Tan Songyun turned back around.
”What else is there?”
”Gao Xiumin... was defeated by him on the day he passed the inner court exam.”
...
The fight Chen Li was referring to was the brief interaction Xiao Fang had with her messenger after the inner court exam. The fight happened when he rejected the messenger's invitation to go see Chen Li, telling her that she'd need to come herself if she wanted to speak to him.
...
A serious expression finally appeared on Tan Songyun's face.
”Isn't Gao Xiumin in the Phoenix-Class 2nd Division.”
”She is.”
”And you say she was defeated by an Outer Court disciple?”
”She was,” Chen Li replied simply.
Tan Songyun began to think.
”I see, he certainly isn't ordinary. Alright, he can stay in our guild, but I want you to learn everything you can about his background. In the meantime, I need to speak the the other 2 about this,” Tan Songyun said, referring to the other 2 Dragon-Class disciples in the guild.
However, before she could leave, Chen Li said something that made her stop again.
”I can't do that.”
Tan Songyun frowned even more deeply than before as she replied,
”Why not?”
”That's because he isn't here?”
”Then go find him,” Tan Songyun immediately replied as if she was running out of patience. However, Chen Li still calmly replied,
”What I meant to say was... he rejected the invitation.”
The ground beneath Tan Songyun's feet began to crack and her blood boiled. No one had ever rejected an invitation to the White Jade guild. Certainly not by any man.
Tan Songyun's overwhelming aura leaked through her pours as her brows began to wrinkle.
”He certainly doesn't know what's good for him. Make that son of a bitch wish he were never alive,” Tan Songyun said as she looked dead into Chen Li's eyes.
”Leave it to me,” Chen Li said with a slight bow.
With that, Tan Songyun left. Once she was gone, the corner of Chen Li's lips finally curled upwards into a scheming smirk.
'How predictable.'
